cocahina 's review for:

The Widow by Fiona Barton
3.0

*sigh*

One of these days, I'll learn that it's rare that a book ends up on all the "best mystery/thriller" lists and I actually agree. This one was... meh. It was slow in parts but seemed to be ramping up to a nice climax and reveal. I was torn on which direction I thought it would go but I had an excellent ending in mind.

The way the author chose to wrap this up was so mundane. It was such a letdown. All those aforementioned parts that were slow, when combined with the ending, suddenly made the entire book feel long and drawn out.

Meh rating for a meh book.
